Welcome
7th Forum on Respiratory Tract infections
Dear Colleagues & Friends
As conference chair, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 7th Forum on Respiratory Tract Infections, taking place from 3rd to 5th February 2025 in the vibrant city of Glasgow. After a successful edition last year, we are excited to return to the UK for this milestone event.
The last few years
have brought remarkable advancements in respiratory research, bringing
respiratory tract infections into sharper focus within public health, clinical
practice, and scientific exploration. The global challenges we face,
particularly with antibiotic resistance and emerging diagnostic methods, have
made it essential for experts across various fields to collaborate closely. Our
forum remains a key platform to foster these collaborations, blending clinical
expertise with cutting-edge translational research.
This year, we are
proud to introduce new and pressing topics such as Antibiotic Resistance,
Molecular Diagnostics, and Novel Approaches in the treatment of
respiratory tract infections. In addition to these new themes, we will continue
to delve into critical issues such as pneumonia, respiratory viruses, chronic
lung infections, and mycobacterial and fungal diseases.
With breakthroughs in
treatment, diagnostics, and vaccinology reshaping the landscape of respiratory
infections, the Forum will provide an inspiring environment to explore these
advances and build future collaborations. We are truly at the brink of a new
era in respiratory research, one that holds great promise for patient care and
scientific progress.
We warmly invite you
to join us in Glasgow, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and be part of
the exciting journey towards advancing respiratory health.
